Talking of unflinching comedies... Lady Dynamite was Netflix's most critically adored new sitcom of 2016, so of course it'll be back for more this year.

Maria Bamford stars as a fictionalised version of herself, as she moves back to LA after six months away in recover for bipolar, and attempts to rebuild her life and career.

Although uneven, the show - like Netflix's best comedies, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and BoJack Horseman - uses a mix of both wildly absurd and incredibly meta humour, and doesn't shy away from examining fame and mental health.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
